FortiGate: Upgrading the firmware via CLI To use the following procedure, you must have a TFTP or FTP server that FortiDB can connect to. You must also log in using the “admin” administrator account. Start the FTP or TFTP server. Copy the new firmware image file to the FTP or TFTP server. Log into the CLI.

For example, if the firmware image file name is image.out and the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter: execute restore image tftp image.out 192.168.1.168 FortiDB responds with the message: This oper...
